Brief description of study

What is the purpose of this study?
This study aims to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screengibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials. Testing bone marrow and blood from patients with leukemia that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treaty provide information about the patient's leukemia that is important when deciding how to best treat it, and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia inhildren, adolescents, and young adults.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To utilize clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen forgibility for available phase I/II Pediatric Acute Leukemia (PedAL) sub-trials.
II. To maintain a longitudinal and comprehensive registry from relapse in children and youngdults with recurrent and refractory leukemia.

THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.
